Wayne Ellington and Miami have reached an agreement on a deal, according to Chris Haynes of ESPN.com.

It's a one-year deal worth $6.2 million, per Haynes. He's the best shooter left on the market and some contenders may have been in on Wayne, but he'll stay put. He had a chance to score a franchise-record in 3-pointers off the bench last year, and he should be in that role again.

Dwight Howard (gluteal soreness) is being listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Howard did not practice on Monday and had difficulty putting on his socks on Sunday, so we'd say he's much closer to doubtful for Tuesday's game. Owners can expect to get another update following shootaround, but if he is out, Ian Mahinmi would be in line for a start and Markieff Morris would spend more time operating as a small-ball five-man. Stay tuned.

Danilo Gallinari (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

This will surprisingly be the first missed game of the season for The Rooster, but luckily, he's simply a bit under the weather and not dealing with an actual injury. Gallinari may be getting an off day due to the matchup and with this being the first game of a back-to-back set, so perhaps he'll be able to return for Tuesday's game against the Wizards. Avery Bradley will start in his place, and Tobias Harris will do the heavy lifting on offense.

Updating a previous report, Mikal Bridges will remain in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers, with Isaiah Canaan heading to the bench.

Igor Kokoskov will start Devin Booker at the one, and he'll be joined by Bridges, Trevor Ariza, T.J. Warren and Deandre Ayton in a big lineup to help combat Philly's size. Bridges has been hit-or-miss, but he could be someone to think about deploying in DFS under the revenage game narrative, as he's going up against the team that traded him away on draft day.

Taurean Prince (right Achilles) will be in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Clippers.

Prince will be returning from a two-game absence, and the fact that he's starting would suggest he won't be operating with any sort of minutes limit. Feel free to fire him up. With Prince back on the active roster, Kevin Huerter and DeAndre Bembry will lose a lot of value.

Tyreke Evans will move into the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Jazz.

Victor Oladipo (knee) will be sitting this one out, so Evans will likely be stepping into a lead role on offense, and he's certainly someone to consider in DFS. If Evans was recently cut in your league, you should think about swooping him up, as he could put up some solid stat lines while Dipo is on the sidelines.

Dwyane Wade (personal) is being listed as "out" for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Erik Spoelstra was quoted on Monday saying he expects Wade back "soon," so maybe he'll be able to get out there for Friday's game in Chicago. With both Wade and Goran Dragic (knee) unavailable for Tuesday, Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington will get all the run they can handle with Josh Richardson running the show on offense.

Seth Curry (right knee) and Moe Harkless (left knee) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

This will be the third straight game out of the lineup for Curry, which will result in Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum logging heavy minutes. Evan Turner will also have the opportunity to flirt with minutes in the 30s while both Curry and Harkless are out, but he's too inconsistent to trust in standard leagues. Curry isn't worth owning anywhere.

Denzel Valentine is set to undergo reconstructive left ankle surgery and he will miss the next 4-6 months of action.

Valentine was evaluated by an ankle/foot specialist in Wisconsin and was diagnosed with ankle instability, and this operation will likely put him out for the remainder of the 2018-19 season. This was the expected course of action after he did not respond to treatment, and there's absolutely no reason to own him anywhere. Justin Holiday is locked in as the starting small forward in Chicago, and he's worth owning in most leagues.

Lee is inching his way closer to a return, but we'd consider him doubtful for Tuesday's game with that being the first of a back-to-back set. Lee will assuredly be dealing with a minutes limit once he's cleared to play, and there are no guarantees that he'll be a significant part of the rotation, so he's safe to leave on the wire in all formats.

Caris LeVert (foot) was non-committal when asked about his potential timetable on Monday.

"I don't really know. We're not really talking about dates right now or recovery time," said LeVert. "We're just, like I said, focused on each day, maximizing each day, get better each day." LeVert was then cut off by the Nets' PR guy, as Brooklyn rarely discusses timetables for their injured guys, but he is expected to get back at some point this season. He's worth stashing if you have an open IR-spot, but he's a tough guy to own if he's taking up an active roster spot with no clear return date.

Russell Westbrook (personal, ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.

Westbrook's wife just gave birth to twins, so it would be surprising to see him take the court tonight, especially considering that he still hasn't gone through a full practice. We'd say he's much closer to doubtful, and owners can check back closer to tip-off for official confirmation on his status.
